The revised labour code can help an employee earning Rs 80,000\/month accumulate an extra retirement corpus<\/a> of Rs 1.82 crore through EPF<\/a> and NPS<\/a> contributions if his basic salary jumps by just 10% from 40% of your CTC to 50% under the new rules.
The employee can benefit from the revised labour code that makes it mandatory for an employer to keep the basic salary of an employee at least 50% of his cost to company (CTC).<\/p>\n

A higher basic salary will automatically increase EPF and NPS contributions of an employee or NPS deduction through employer if he opts for a full limit of both schemes, resulting in a higher retirement corpus.<\/p>\n

An EPF subscriber typically contributes 12% of the basic pay<\/a> and dearness allowance (DA) as EPF contribution which is equally matched by the employer toward EPF and EPS. Moreover, an employee can get 10% of the basic salary and DA as employer contribution under the old tax regime and 14% of the basic salary and DA in the new tax regime as the highest NPS contribution. <\/p>\n

Under the revised labour code, if the basic pay of an employee increases and his EPF and NPS contributions also rise, he can create a larger retirement corpus.<\/p>\n

Chartered Accountant Avinash Rao, partner at Mohindra & Associates, says that the requirement that ‘wages’ must be at least 50% of the total remuneration reduces the scope for disproportionately high allowances. <\/p>\n

“It consequently drives a higher statutory base for EPF contributions, employer NPS contributions, gratuity<\/a> computation and leave encashment valuations. For employees, this technically means a marginal reduction in take-home salary, but a major increase in long-term retirement accumulation, ensuring stronger social security,” says Rao.<\/p>\n

Calculation for employees who are near beginning of their career: Example of retirement corpus before and after labour code implementation<\/p>\n

Let’s understand it precisely with the example of a 25-year-old employee with Rs 80,000 monthly CTC salary (Rs 9.6 lakh annual CTC), Rs 32,000 basic pay (40% of CTC) and 35 years of the EPF and NPS contribution period.<\/p>\n

Assuming that he will contribute 12% of his basic pay in EPF and 14% in NPS and will increase the contribution by 5% every year, let\u2019s calculate the difference in the retirement corpus under the current basic pay of Rs 32,000 and when his basic salary increases to 50%, or Rs 40,000.<\/p>\n

Now if all calculation conditions are the same except that the 25-year-old has a salary of Rs 40,000, he will still create an extra retirement corpus of Rs 91 lakh.

What if you are in your mid-career and your salary is Rs 40,000, Rs 80,000 or Rs 1,20,000. We are assuming that since you are 40-year-old, you must have already created some corpus. We assume that-<\/p>\n

At Rs 40,000 salary, your corpus is Rs 8 lakh<\/p>\n

At Rs 80,000 salary, your corpus is Rs 16 lakh<\/p>\n

At Rs 1,60,000 salary, your corpus is Rs 24 lakh<\/p>\n

Now see how extra corpus you can create if your basic pay in each condition rises from 40% to 50%.<\/p>\n

If you are 40 years old with Rs 40,000 CTC In 20 years, you can create a Rs 17 lakh extra corpus.
